Lil Wayne has four kids. That we know of. Of course four, at least three have different mothers. The mother of the second child has never been established. In any case, the ranks of Weezy’s brood may be growing yet again! A Louisiana woman claims he fathered her eight-year-old grandson and wants a DNA test. She’d have gotten it long ago had it not been for Hurricane Katrina. Really. T-Pain (left) has nothing to do with this article . Ever since the baby was born in 2002, the boy’s family “tried multiple times to get a paternity test ” from the troubled rapper, only to face unforeseen delays. Such as a massive natural disaster. The New Orleans court system moved at a snail’s pace anyway, but after Katrina, the case’s records were all destroyed. Proceedings were therefore delayed by a matter of years. Finally, this year, the court ordered Lil Wayne to submit to a DNA test. He was in jail at the time. Now that he’s been sprung , Wayne has until early-December to take it. Lightning (or hurricanes, more accurately) aren’t likely to strike twice, fortunately.

Weezy and Mack Maine come up with the idea during a phone call, in new footage from DJ Scoob Doo. By Jayson Rodriguez Scoob Doo, Baby and Mack Maine Photo: MTV News Lil Wayne unleashed a lyrical tirade on Drake’s “Light Up,” with the incarcerated rapper contributing a remix verse to the Jay-Z-featured track from behind bars. But how exactly did the collaboration come about? According to footage provided to MTV News by DJ Scoob Doo, Young Money cohort Mack Maine challenged his boss to drop some rhymes to the Tone Mason and Noah “40” Shebib banger. The scene will be featured on Scoob Doo’s forthcoming DVD project featuring Lil Wayne, “The Nino Brown Story, Pt. 3.” “You was supposed to have that third [verse],” Mack tells Wayne after the rapper called him. “Write something to that.” Wayne and Mack were talking about Jay-Z’s opening lines to the second verse, which Weezy admired. “Yeah, man, ain’t nobody talking about what your boy talking about,” he said of Jay. “That n—a is stupid [with his rhymes]. I said, ‘Oooh, look at that.’ ” Mack and Wayne go back and forth, bantering about what the Cash Money Records superstar would sound like on the song. Then, Wayne finally responds. “Come up with a [verse]? Don’t play with me, man,” Weezy tells Mack over the phone. “Just drop that beat to a breakdown to where you can really hear what I’m saying. I’ll write 100 bars to that. Don’t play with me. Let me know when it’s set up, and I’ll do it. “It’s over,” he adds. “I got it already.” The two then coordinate a time for Wayne to call an engineer to help clean up the rapper’s vocals, which were slightly distorted, since he had to rap over the phone. The result was classic Wayne, chock-full of punch lines and illuminating lyrics. “I’m feeling like Elvis, ‘Jailhouse Rock,’ ” Wayne raps via telephone. “I’m not Tupac, I’m the new ‘Pac/ Behind bars, but the bars don’t stop/ Recording over the phone, I hope the call don’t drop/ Drizzy got the ball, I know the ball won’t drop/ And I pray none of my kids ever wanna be Pop.” As of press time, it’s unknown if the “Light Up” remix will be included on the official Thank Me Later release or possibly a later deluxe version. Who had the best verse on “Light Up”: Drake, Jay-Z or Lil Wayne? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Drake Lil Wayne
Leaked tracks from Eminem’s Recovery album continue to surface online, despite its official release date still being two weeks away. That sucks for Eminem. Or does it? Conventional wisdom suggests leaks hinder sales, but Em’s new songs and collaborations with Rihanna, Lil Wayne and others are drawing raves. Gaining probably the most online traction of the leaked tracks – a bunch of which are still up as of right now – is “Love the Way You Lie,” featuring Rihanna. Seeing as the song chronicles a destructive, abusive and violent relationship (cough, Chris Brown ), it’s tailor-made for tabloid fodder as well as a solid track. Listen to the leaked Recovery track and vote on it below … Eminem feat. Rihanna: Love the Way You Lie In between Eminem’s verses Rihanna brings it in the chorus: “Just gonna stand there and watch me burn / That’s alright ’cause I like the way it hurts / Just gonna stand there and hear me cry / That’s alright ’cause I like the way you lie.” What do you think of “Love the Way You Lie”?
